The State Fair of Texas(R) has selected Big and Bright as its
theme for the upcoming 2012 season, which begins Sept. 28 and runs
through Oct. 21.

Is it too early to start getting excited about the Fair?

Leading the way will be a Chinese Lantern Festival featuring
illuminated and animated displays as large as 50 feet high and 300
feet long while fairgoers visiting Cotton Bowl Plaza will be
entertained with an all new production of lights and graphics
displayed on the facade of the historic Cotton Bowl stadium.
